Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Mike Bennett, Matt Taven, and Wardlow come to the ring. Cole says it’s ironic that people were shocked by what happened at AEW Worlds End. Cole says that MJF has more enemies than anyone. Cole calls MJF a narcissist and then says that it is time for a change. Cole says the locker room and fans will learn to thank him because MJF is gone, and he’s never coming back.

Cole says he betrayed MJF before MJF could betray hm. Cole then claims that MJF needed him. He reminds us that the fans would not be cheering MJF if not for him. Cole says this all became about destroying a man, and he says MJF is dead and that e doesn’t even work there anymore Cole then names the new group the Undisputed Kingdom. Cole says that Wardlow will eventually hand the AEW World Championship over to him.

White is out and says he didn’t like the way Cole made him collateral damage. White and The Gunns charge the ring and brawl with the Undisputed Kingdom. The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn run, sending The newly formed Undisputed Kingdom running.

Daniel Garcia says that he will not buckle under pressure tonight at his match against Swerve Strickland

AEW International Championship: Orange Cassidy (c) VS Dante Martin

Both men are well matched and they trade moves until Cassidy heads to the outside to regroup. Martin goes for a dive but ends up crashing face-first into the barricade. Cassidy hits him with a dropkick and after a brief comeback from Martin, Cassidy hits a Suplex. The match is even again and then Cassidy hits the Stun-dog Millionaire for a nearfall. Martin comes back and dives onto Cassidy at ringside, then hits a Crossbody for a 2-count. Martin with some “kicks” and that angered Cassidy who rocked Martin with a kick of his own. Cassidy  with a DDT for a 2-count, followed by a diving DDT. Martin with a dive after dodging The Orange Punch and Beach Break. Cassidy gets a 2-count after landing a Crucifix. Martin up top and jumps off, but Cassidy dodges a senton and gets the win with the Orange Punch.
